It’s horribly, horribly tragic.”Eilish performed at Pledge Arena in Seattle, Washington on Friday, the same night the world learned that Hawkins was found dead in his hotel room in Bogotá, Colombia, where the band was originally scheduled to perform at the city’s Festival Estéreo Picnic.
Finneas also paid tribute to the beloved drummer, known for his always-present smile, loose, joyful playing and symbiotic relationship with Foos frontman Dave Grohl. “Taylor was such a legendary player. We were admirers of his work years before we got to meet him,” Finneas told thecrew. “And we only met him a handful of times… I wish we got to spend more time with him, but he couldn’t have been a kinder, cooler, more generous person as well. And such a deeply inspiring person.
The band announced Hawkins’ death in a statement, writing, “The Foo Fighters family is devastated by the tragic and untimely loss of our beloved Taylor Hawkins. His musical spirit and infectious laughter will live on with all of us forever.
